HHHHf Jf ... 1 HgiWMil Student Government Proposes New Bill Chris Fankhauser Managing Editor Members of the Utah Valley State College student government have compiled a bill to pre sent to trie board ot regents that, if passed will ensure that UVSC gets its fair share of State allotted funds. UVSC is one of nine state institutions that rely on government allotment to survive. UVSC is currently one of the fastest growing schools in Utah, however the funds allotted for use don't reflect the amount of growth achieved by the school. The bill, sponsored by Curtis Morley, Shiela Banister and Brock Ebmeyer, reads as follows: "A resolution by Utah Intercollegiate Assembly to the Utah State Board of Regents and the Utah State Legislature that full-time enrollment growth on an individual basis per institution be given greater consideration when allocating funds amongst the nine state institutions." This is to say that when assessing the allot ment of funds to each school, the board of regents should ensure that ample consideration is given to the growth of that institution before a decision is made of the allotment of funds. Unfortunately, the rate of growth is not a pri mary consideration tor determining funds, and it is the intent of the bill sponsors that this be reconsidered.Bill co-sponsor, Brock Ebmeyer said, "UVSC cannot expect to be competitive among those schools with a distinguished history unless growth is given a primary consideration." UVSC student government Cultural Vice Chair, Curtis Morley agrees with Ebmeyer that growth is an important issue that needs to be evaluated. "Students will go to the school they desire, and UVSC is one of those schools. In order to give those students a proper education, we need to fund growth." For those who are interested, the growth bill will be presented at the Utah Intercollegiate Assembly on March 21 and 22. Curtis Morley, Brock Ebmeyer (pictured) and Shiela Banister (not pictured) are the sponsors of the growth bill.
